The information below should give an overview about the compatibility of data between digital audio consoles from one manufacturer.
That is: I have a session on model XY and want to transfer it to model AB of the same manufacturer, interchanging data is not possible - at least not yet. This is neither complete nor authorized, just personal experiments or experiences!
(this list is not complete)
Yamaha
| newer models: PM5D, M7CL, LS9 | scene data: since apr 2011 or look here
some libraries can be interchanged by renaming the file extension |
| older models: DM2000, DM1000, 01V, ... | scene data: no, libraries?? |
Digico
| SD series: SD7, SD8, SD9 | sessions: not yet, preset files: yes
thus you can transfer your setup containing maybe 40 channels with 1 preset easily |
| D series: D5, D1, DS00 | ?? |
Soundcraft
| Vi series: Vi6, Vi4 | sessions: yes |
| Si series: Si3, Si2, Si1 | ?? |
Allen-Heath
| iLive, T-series | sessions: yes |
Digidesign
| D-Show: Venue, Profile, SC48 | sessions: yes |
Midas
note: when transferring sessions between consoles of diffent sizes there will always be details missing or even being misconfigured
